Explanation of Responses:

1. CSL Limited, an Australian public limited company ("CSL"), may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in securities reported by it on this Form 3 (the "Subject Securities").

2. CSL's beneficial ownership of the Subject Securities is being reported solely because CSL may be deemed to beneficially own the Subject Securities as a result of its acquisition, indirectly, of 100% of the equity interests in Vifor Pharma Ltd. ("Vifor Pharma"), and, in turn, 100% of the equity interests in the entity that holds the Subject Securities, Vifor (International) Ltd. ("Vifor (International)"), and 55% of the equity interests in Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd. ("VFMCRP"), which were indirectly owned by Vifor Pharma, on August 9, 2022. VFMCRP may be deemed to beneficially own 6,221,943 of the Subject Securities as a result of its right to acquire such Subject Securities upon exercise of an option granted to it by Vifor (International).

3. (Continued from Footnote 2) As a result of the merger of Vifor Pharma into Vifor Pharma Participations Ltd. ("Vifor Participations") pursuant to a merger agreement, dated May 11, 2023, CSL indirectly owns 100% of the equity interests in Vifor (International) and 55% of the equity interests in VFMCRP through its indirect ownership of 100% of the equity interests in Vifor Participations.

4. CSL disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the Subject Securities, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.
